Barlean's Changed the Formula
I have purchased this product several times and was very impressed by the strength, quality and freshness. Great product that cures many ailments.
I recently purchased this again and was disgusted with the new formula and taste. The label used to read "Fresh Pressed" but it doesn't anymore. The older better product was made in Australia from really high quality fresh olive leaf. The newer product is not. The new formula is diluted with glycerin and water being the first ingredients before the olive leaf complex and with "natural flavors" added as well. If you do a search on natural flavors, you can find out for yourself that they are a chemical compound cooked up in a lab and added to many food products. It doesn't belong in a anti-oxidant health product like this.
I can easily tell that the new formula is no where near as fresh and wholesome as the previous product. I did some searching and found that I can get the much better higher quality formula in Comvita Olive Leaf Extract Health Supplement, Natural, 16.9 Fluid Ounce sold here on Amazon.
